Flooded Out
Every part of the world has its own version of a winter, and this is Vancouver's. It's been too warm for snow... imagine if all this rain had come down as frozen precipitation! If there's any farm animals living in this field, I hope they have flippers. Or at least pool noodles to float on.
A Drip is Born
Here's the life of a water droplet born from gravity and the need for a new rubber washer in the faucet.
Grab the Umbrella Ella
When it rains it can indeed pour. It's like how there's nobody in line at the grocery store when you walk in, then when you're ready to get to the checkout so becomes everybody else and their brother. Murphy's Law is you're thrown everything exactly when you don't need it. We didn't need the bunch of rain we got last Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, but it made for a video topic nonetheless:
All That Sparkles Is Not Diamonds
Ok, so it's part of an experiment and exercise in timing, trying to get the shutter going to capture some interesting drops of water I'm throwing into a dish while getting the flash and reflector to illuminate it interestingly and clearly. Admittedly I need further practice, but I ended up being impressed with the completely unexpected pure sparkle effect that water droplets can give when shot with a ray of light. You could stick one of those in a ring and impress a girl!
No Vermouth, No Ice
"What'd you do last night?"
"Oh, I repeatedly threw olives into a glass and made a splash."
After the Rain
Well, ok, this photo of a wet coneflower was taken in the southern Okanagan where rain can be a rare commodity. So instead of "After the Rain" it's more like "After the Garden Irrigation System".
Portrait of a Canada Goose
It was raining outside, but this goose wanted a head shot for his portfolio. Makeup/wardrobe didn't do a good job of cleaning his beak of grass before the photo was taken.
